I am not quite sure how telling the truth about someone who one worked with for close to six years makes one into a nasty bitch red parrot. The problem is so many people pussy-foot around someones ability to do the job. Or in this case not do the job!

Really? I thought I was being rather restrained.

Ian = smooth talker, very lazy, immaculate desk, loved the pomp the free meals and bullshit of it all, was never really a greenie, talked himself up, useless musterer, definitely not concerned about the underprivileged in our society, can’t seem to see that social justice and the environment are part of the jigsaw can’t have one without other. BUT very anti GE, odd how will that work.

When is he paying the Greens superfund back the money he owes it?

Please view these two videos and check out the website that follows. Even if you do not agree with all of it, we all need to have a better grasp of what truly happened on 9/11/01 in the US, 3/11/04 in Spain, and 7/7/05 in the UK. We are looming closer and closer to being pulled into an even more disastrous war in the Middle East. Another terrorist attack in which the government is involved could easily be framed in such a way that rallies the people around a new war. However, the government could be deterred from faciliting a terrorist attack or could fail in their attempt to rallie the people, if enough people at least suspect government involvement in recent terrorist acts. So please share this with others if you feel compelled, as I do.

Please remember this core fact in all of the debate over the events of 911. The total disintegration of the twin towers into dust and rubble within seconds is a mark of a controlled demolition, not a building pancaking. If the towers did in fact pancake, the end result would have been a stack of concrete floors.

I don’t know. After a description like that I’m surprised he Joined national. Seems like ideal NZ first material.

Hi Rickai

I am quite aware that there is that large constituency, in fact I would consider myself to be a part of it. I strongly believe in the need for economic growth, however this growth needs to be sustainable and needs to be based on the premise that we life on a finite planet with finite resources.

Given that the Don Brash doesn’t even believe in Climate Change (as if it’s a theory, that you can chose to believe in or not), I fail to see what major influences Ian is going to be able to make without a big shift in National Party thinking.

Mind you, I will always have faith that these things can happen. I distinctly remember the shift in Brash’s approach to Maori after he read Michael King’s History of NZ. Maybe he might read a book about Climate Change based on science and another lightbulb will switch on (so to speak).

And I’m sure if the new environmental policy team in the National Party wanted some advice on environmental issues, the Greens would be happy to point them towards some useful experts.

“But if the National Party want to add someone to their backbench that is lazy, never does any work, only goes to functions to puff their chest with delusions of self grandeur and is exceptionally dishonest they need look no further than” …………… most of their caucus!

Like it or not, there is a large constituency that believes environmental issues are not necessarily mutually exclusive to the need for economic growth. Managed well, he could (notwithstanding any truth in your (defamatory) comments) collect enough votes as at 2005 to change the govt. He won’t be managed well and by this time next week everyone will have forgotten this story existed.

God he was/is a bastard. He did nothing but hold the party back. I can’t think of anything meaningful he achieved in six years, apart from keeping pretty hard working and intelligent people out of parliament.

Some misguided members voted him in because he was seen to represent ‘conservative’ green interests - the people who care about the environment but not social issues, if my memories serve me well. The problem is that he didn’t even do that well.
